1 Crown - Elizabeth II Tirpitz

The Tirpitz was scuttled by her own crew on 12 November 1944 following a raid by RAF Lancaster bombers armed with Tallboy deep-penetration bombs — the third and final attack in Operation Catechism, which finally capsized the ship in Tromsøfjord after years of Allied effort to neutralize her. She had fired her main guns in anger only once, during the occupation of Spitsbergen in 1943.

Gibraltar's commemorative crown program of the 1990s produced dozens of naval-themed issues, this being one among many. The Tirpitz capsized with an estimated 950 to 1,000 men still trapped inside the hull.
